Chapter 29

"Some time ago, someone came to propose marriage, and I agreed. Today, I'll get married!"

Qian Momo had been spoiled by her parents since childhood. They had cleaned up after her countless times, she had lost count.

Previously, her parents always said she was still young and didn't understand, so he endured it. But now, at twenty-eight, she had caused someone to come to their home in the middle of the night to beat him up!

Eating more than a pig each time and having a terrible temper, she completely disregarded him as her brother and didn't even consider her sister-in-law and nephew.

No, he couldn't keep her here anymore.

If he did, he feared he wouldn't just get beaten up like last time. That person had warned him to 'control' Qian Momo, or else he would suffer the consequences.

If he hadn't begged for mercy last night, he might have lost a leg.

With their parents around, he really couldn't control Qian Momo. He could only marry her off, so she wouldn't cause trouble at home anymore, bringing peace to their lives.

"What? Why? What happened? Aren't you the one who always dotes on your sister the most? How could you bear to hastily marry her off like this?"

His daughter was also flesh and blood, how could she bear to marry her off to a widower and live a widow's life?

"What happened? Can't you see my injuries? This is all caused by your beloved daughter!" Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m

"A widower is just a widower. Back then, when he was a fine young man, she refused to marry him. Whose fault is it now? Blame me? Isn't it all her doing?"

Although Qian Momo had a bad reputation and wasn't a good person, the Qian family's conditions were not bad.

A few years ago, when times were tough, even poor families earnestly sought to marry her.

But she looked down on them for being poor and thought too highly of herself, no matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. What could he do?

Now, besides settling for a widower, what else could he do?

This was already considered good, at least he hadn't heartlessly married her off to those older men who liked to beat their wives and gamble.

He had done enough.

"What do you mean!?"

Since the moment Qian Momo heard her brother wanted to marry her off to that widower, she was stunned, and now hearing his words, she was furious.

"You can't pretend anymore, can you? I'm your own sister, and you want to treat me like this?

Our parents raised me, I haven't eaten or drank anything of yours, why do you have the right to treat me like this?

You actually want me to marry a widower? You might as well just let me die!"

Seeing that Qian Momo couldn't endure any longer, Gu, her sister-in-law, who had been watching with her son by the side, spoke up.

"It's only because you're our own sister that we haven't given up on you! Our parents raised you? Our parents are already old now!

These years, if it weren't for us, this family wouldn't have been able to hold on!

You didn't rely on us, but you caused trouble everywhere in the village for these years. How many times did my husband and I have to clean up after you?

“Oh, the mountain?” Still a bit groggy, Luo Ge's reaction was a beat slow. She turned to get a clear look at what he held and paused.

“You went to pick sour plums?” Two large baskets – did he pick all the remaining plums?

“Yes, I got up early with nothing to do, so I went to pick them. I'm almost done peeling; I'll marinate them shortly. You go ahead and have your porridge.” He remembered her words; once the porridge boiled, he reduced the heat and let it simmer, ensuring it didn't burn.

This was a significant improvement. His wife must taste it.

“!!!” Wow, her man was really capable! In the time she took a nap, he caught a snake, picked plums, peeled them, watered the vegetable garden, and cooked.

She was amazed!

“Husband, you're so capable.” Watching him work diligently, she sincerely praised.

Gu Jinchen paused at her words, raised an eyebrow with a hint of a smile. “Is that so? I'm glad you think so.”

“!!!” Hearing his words, Luo Ge quickly ran into the kitchen.

Did he just say something flirtatious? But she had no evidence.

Wasn't this man supposed to be reserved and taciturn? Why was he becoming more playful and teasing?

Watching Luo Ge's figure, Gu Jinchen momentarily froze, chuckled softly, and followed into the kitchen, holding the peeled fruit.

Seeing his blushing little wife, his smile deepened.

His wife was easily embarrassed.

Turning to open the salt container, he paused, looking a bit puzzled. “This salt seems finer than usual.”

Luo Ge's heart skipped a beat. “Really? I didn't notice.”

As far as she knew, there were plenty of salt mines domestically, and the imperial court also produced sea salt. With the conditions they had, their salt should be of good quality.

The coarse and fine salts were available for domestic use, unlike in other countries where only coarse salt was common.

In the past, when Gu Jinchen raised children, he bought fine salt, which, compared to the salt in her space, had only a subtle color difference.

But without comparison, it was hard to tell.

Now that the old salt was used up, this man could still observe such subtle details. His observational skills were indeed keen.

Gu Jinchen did have sharp observational skills; he even caught the fleeting nervous glance from his little wife.

His earlier question was just casual.

Was she nervous? Why? What was she hiding from him?

“I remember the shopkeeper saying this batch of salt is new. Could it be because of the difference between old and new salt?”

Seeing her silent, Gu Jinchen responded along with her words, maintaining a calm expression as he continued marinating the fruit.

Upon seeing Luo Ge, only then did a sigh of relief escape.
